Broome Street Bar Burger Rules; the Hottest Potential in the Hamptons

Astoria: The Bohemian Hall beer garden is hiring. [Joey in Astoria]East Village: An Eater commenter on Indian-owned Singas pizza: “Singas make pizza like my mom would…. If my mom was a Korean who had never tasted pizza before in her life.” [Slice]Hamptons: If you’re heading to a beach where you can drink in public this weekend, you might consider ordering Steady Sticks to secure your wine glasses (and the bottle) upright and above the sand.

And even though it’s in Montauk, the Surf Lodge could be the dark-horse hot spot of the summer. [Down by the Hipster]Meatpacking District: The closing of Florent’s has touched even the coldest of hearts: “You know things are getting bad…when the cynical young keyboard-tappers at Gawker think the City is changing too fast and losing too many of its great places.” [Lost City]Soho: Adam Kuban verifies that even though Kenn’s Broome Street Bar burger is on a pita, flouting the most basic of hamburger rules, it can be dubbed a burger, and the version with bacon is a pretty good option in the hood. [Hamburger Today]Times Square: The rechristened China Club, Eden, opens tonight. [Bottomless Dish/Citysearch]West Village: Interns (probably) weren’t paid to put the “Britney Spears” stickers on the windows of the Life Thyme natural market (and all over the rest of the city) to promote a book that isn’t about Britney.
